Game 4

Game 4

Legends vs Wolverines

Week 4 of the 2017 Football Season will see the Legends travel north to Niagara Falls HS to take on the Wolverines. This will be the 14th match-up between the two schools
with Lancaster holding a 9-4 series advantage.

The very first meeting took place way back in 1921 on what was said to be a mud covered field with the boys from NF outweighing the team from Lancaster by 15lbs a man.
Niagara Falls would prevail by a score of 27-0. They would play again in 1922 but take a short break before two more meetings in 1975 and 76. Since 1999, these schools
have played 9 more times. One game in 2009 was in the first round of the playoffs.
